That's a clear Canary from 'The Company', as far as I'm concerned. "We, the USA, are now intelligence blind."
The WFB was a valuable resource. It only displayed the *party line*, the official account of policies and statistics from each country, as a deliberate choice.
You were then able to go and get the facts independently, and thus *instantly* you had a graph of what those countries were *lying* about.
It was incredibly useful.

We used it all the time for corporate travel and risk assessment. You could count on it being unbiased, clear-eyed, and as up to date as any official line can be. This is a huge loss. And probably done in order to open up a market for some private business crony of the Trump regime. @megatronicthronbanks
